My friend Anders works as a professional retoucher (www.retouch.se) and I thought it would be cool to see what he could do with pictures from Satio.
I put a Satio in his hands for a few days and this is what he has come up with so far. Normally he doesn’t photograph himself but for this occasion he can actually take all the cred since he also did the photo-work. I also asked him some questions on what he thought was the main upside of using Satio and as expected the answer was “Pixels” 
In good lighting you really are able to get the most out of every 12 M of them because of a quite conservative jpg-compression, at least for a mobile phone.
This is what he wrote me when he sent the pics.
I decided to do some testing like this. Simply treat the images from the SATIO as if they were raw-files from any other high-end camera… The photographers i use to work with mostly shoot editorial works with really high end DSLRs , and advertising whith digital backs.
Could the SATIO have any chance to match some of them…? No, of course not!
But hey, what about matching a grainy 24x36mm film? Now we’re talking!
Unfortunately it’s raining cats and dogs here in Stockholm today, so a outdoor location shoot was not a good idea… An indoor still life was more much comfortable 
I used two images, one background shot and one from another angle to get “Nils Holgersson” and the goose in a different perspective.
So interpolated, and a little grain added, i would say it looks pretty good, don’t you?

The result is interpolated to around 69 MP Just as he works in his normal work.. I think it’s a really cool pic and again it shows how post processing can add that extra wow-factor, or in this case even create a new pic from two different ones.
First the two original pics he shot with Satio:
And this is the result after he did his magic, as said earlier – 69 MP
